Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ended the months-long speculation that she might be considering a third presidential run during an interview with Westchester, New York’s News 12 on Monday.

News 12’s Tara Rosenblum asked Clinton whether she might run for president again in 2020 in Clinton’s first TV interview since the 2018 midterm elections.

“I’m not running, but I’m going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe,” Clinton said.

“I want to be sure that people understand I’m going to keep speaking out,” Clinton added. “I’m not going anywhere. What’s at stake in our country, the kind of things that are happening right now are deeply troubling to me. And I’m also thinking hard about how do we start talking and listening to each other again? We’ve just gotten so polarized. We’ve gotten into really opposing camps, unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my adult life.”

Clinton also ruled out running for governor of New York or mayor of New York City in the interview, positions that she had been rumored to be considering following her historic defeat in 2016.
